Marcus wasn’t particularly aiming for the lifeguarding stand, but the crowd of students in the centre of the room sort of pushed him towards it, and before he could walk away, the well-built, slightly stocky lifeguard behind the table dressed in a black, red, and yellow wetsuit asked, “Are you interested in lifeguarding?” Not wanting to hurt his feelings, and not having anything else he wanted to look at, Marcus approached the stand with a smile and nod, and prepared for the inevitable lengthy boring lecture about why it’d be such a great career. However, to his surprise, the lifeguard simply said, “Great. Step into the stall for the body swap and I’ll take you down to the beach,” gesturing towards the temporary stall behind him shaped like a large changing room, with a curtain for privacy. Marcus nervously pulled across the curtain, stepping into the stall, and the lifeguard followed him in after quickly tapping something into the tablet on the table, before closing the curtain behind him.
The room was large enough for the two of them to fit in and face each other without it being awkwardly close, and contained a mirror on one wall. “My name’s Ryan, by the way,” stated the lifeguard with a smile, “the swap should start in a few seconds.” “I’m Marcus,” he gingerly replied, slightly intimidated by the large man. As if on cue, Marcus felt a faint electric shock before feeling his body start to change. His skinny limbs swelled drastically with muscle, and a slight layer of fat as well, forming tears on his sleeves with his swelled-up adult biceps and almost shredding his jeans as his thighs grew large and meaty. Also, he shot up half a foot in height while his torso thickened and developed, leaving him with two firm, muscular pecs and a set of abs covered with a faint layer of fat. At the same time, Ryan shrunk to Marcus’ previous height, his bulky body slimming drastically until he was left with that of a skinny teenager, his wetsuit hanging loose over his body. That was solved as it reformed into Marcus’s former outfit, a simple polo shirt and jeans, and the remains of Marcus’ clothes became Ryan’s wetsuit, now tightly squeezed against every part of his adult body. The last few changes occurred with Marcus’ face maturing with a square jaw, 5 o’clock shadow, and handsome features, while Ryan’s face did the opposite, with his formerly impressive equipment shrinking to almost nothing, with Marcus instead gaining a considerable bulge in his wetsuit.
While the average person would have found this extraordinary, neither Marcus nor Ryan were particularly shocked, due to having witnessed the changes in other people every other careers day - although Marcus did take the time in the mirror to flex his biceps and feel his body up with his chunkier fingers. Ryan, now in his pubescent body, asked Marcus in a higher-pitched voice, “Right, shall we drive down to the lifeguard station at the beach?” as they emerged from the curtain back into the busy hall.
